WILLIAM N HU'RT, OF SHAWNEE, OKLAHOMA.

OIL-GAS BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct. 28, 1919.

Application filed April 10, 1918. Serial 110.227'330.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLrAM N. HURT, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Shawnee, in the county ofPottawatomie and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and usefulOil-Gas Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The subject of this invention is an oil gas burner, and the main objectof the invention is the provision of a burner adapted to be placed inthe ordinary range or stove for the purpose of supplying heat to-thesame.

The invention also contemplates the provision of a burner designed toconvert oil into gas and burn the gas so formed.

The invention also contemplates the provision of a burner having specialmeans for heating an oven.

A further object of the invention is to provide a combined flamespreader and oil pan.

A still further object of the invention is to generally improve theconstruction and enhance the utility of a burner.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within thescope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

A practical embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanyingdrawing, wherein Figure 1 is a plan View of a burner constructed inaccordance with the invention, portions being in section;

Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation of the same, portions being insection.

Referring to the drawing by numerals of reference In carrying out theinvention there is provided an inlet pipe 1 which is connected to anysuitable source of fuel supply and through which fuel is led to theburner, either under the force of gravity or under the impulse of otherpressure.

The supply pipe 1 is connected through a T-connection 2 with the pipes3, 4E and 5 which are adapted to be placed within the stove. The oil orfuel supply to these pipes is controlled by the valves 3, 4 and 5,respectively.

The pipe 3 is bent upwardly at a sultable tributed.

point and merges into a horizontally arrangedportionfi from'which ishung'a flame spreader or deflector 7. The portion 6 merges into adownwardly extending pipe section 8 which terminates in an end turnedback beneath the portion 6 and provided with an aperture 9, locatedimmediately below andcentrally of the flame spreader 7 The pipe 4 isshorter than the pipe 8 and is formed in the same manner, having anupwardly-bent portion which merges into the horizontal portion 10, fromwhich is hung the flame spreader 11 which as clearly shown by Flg. 1 ofthe drawings, includes an oil pan 11 adapted to contain a small quantityof oil, which is ignited, resulting in heating the horizontal pipedisposed thereabove when it is desired tostart the vaporization of oilin the pipe, to facilitate the lighting of burners. Each of the pans isprovided with grooves 7 for the purpose of containing a sufficientamount of fuel to preheat the feed pipe, positioned thereabove. Theportion 10 merges into the downwardly extending pipe section 12 whichterminates in an end bent back beneath the portion 10 and providedwithan aperture 13 located beneath and centrally of the flame spreader11. From the foregoing it will be apparent that the burners 9 and 13will be located toward the rear and front of the fire-box of a range orstove and that the heat from the burners will, consequently, be evenlydis- The pipe 5 is also bent upwardly and merges into the horizontallydisposed portion 1 1 to one side of which the nipples 15 extend. Thenipples 15 are provided with the end apertures 16, which provideburners. The nipples 15 are so positioned as to direct their flamesabove the oven of a range or stove and so more readily heat the same.

From the method of control itwill be apparent that any desired number ofthe burnis claimed as new and sought by Letters Patent, is

In a fuel burner, feed pipes having horizontal portions and dependingburner sections, relatively fiat flame deflectors, links embracing thefeed pipes adapted to support the flame deflectors over the burner sections, each of the flame deflectors being slightly dished and havinggrooves formed therein to receive a small quantity of fuel 10 forreheating the feed pipes.

' In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have heretoafliXed my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
